School may be out for the summer, but as we near the end of July, holidays are already half over and students are just one month away from back-to-school! When Saskatchewan teachers went on strike last year, a lot was up in the air, like extracurricular activities, sporting events and even graduation. Some even argue that kids lost precious learning time in the classroom.

He joins Evan to share why he believes strikes should be banned and teachers should use binding arbitration.
